The 'Save Wanstead Flats' campaign completely oppose plans by the Metropolitan Police to base its Olympics operational centre on Wanstead Flats in 2012.

We completely oppose the dangerous precedent the City of London Corporation proposes to set by attempting to amend the Epping Forest Act of 1878, which protects Wanstead Flats from enclosure and development, so that the police’s plans can be pushed through.

We demand a proper explanation about how Wanstead Flats was chosen over the Olympic site itself and why there has been absolutely no consultation with local residents.
